During which changes of state do atoms that cannot move past one another become free to move

Answer:

The correct answer is from solid to liquid (melting), and from liquid to gas (sublimation).

Explanation:

In the solid-state the energy of the molecules is low, so the molecules will have very little movement. In the liquid state, molecules have a higher level of energy, and as they move from solid to liquid state they acquire greater mobility. In a gaseous state, the energy level is very high and the molecules have a higher degree of mobility.

This can also be described through the predominant molecular forces in each state. The cohesion forces present in solids are stronger than those of repulsion. In the liquid state, the repulsion and attraction forces are balanced. Finally, in the gaseous state, the repulsive forces between the molecules predominate.

Have a nice day!

Why cooking pans don't have have metal handles?

Harrizon [31]

metals are conductors, meaning that heat travels through it better than insulators such as plastic (commonly used for pan handles)

Therefore, to avoid the heat burning hands, most pans don't have metal handles.

A ball is thrown so that its initial vertical and horizontal components of velocity are 30 m/s and 15 m/s, respectively. Estimat

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

H = 45 m

Explanation:

First we find the launch velocity of the ball by using the following formula:

v₀ = √(v₀ₓ² + v₀y²)

where,

v₀ = launching velocity = ?

v₀ₓ = Horizontal Component of Launch Velocity = 15 m/s

v₀y = Vertical Component of Launch Velocity = 30 m/s

Therefore,

v₀ = √[(15 m/s)² + (30 m/s)²]

v₀ = 33.54 m/s

Now, we find the launch angle of the ball by using the following formula:

θ = tan⁻¹ (v₀y/v₀ₓ)

θ = tan⁻¹ (30/15)

θ = tan⁻¹ (2)

θ = 63.43°

Now, the maximum height attained by the ball is given by the formula:

H = (v₀² Sin² θ)/2g

H = (33.54 m/s)² (Sin² 63.43°)/2(10 m/s²)

H = 45 m

A car is moving in the positive direction along a straight highway and accelerates at a constant rate while going from point A t

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The time where the avergae speed equals the instaneous speed is T/2

Explanation:

The velocity of the car is:

v(t) = v0 + at

Where v0 is the initial speed and a is the constant acceleration.

Let's find the average speed. This is given integrating the velocity from 0 to T and dividing by T:

$v_{ave} = \frac{1}{T}\int\limits^T_0 {v(t)} \, dt$

v_ave = v0+a(T/2)

We can esaily note that when t=T/2

v(T/2)=v_ave

Now we want to know where the car should be, the osition of the car is:

$x(t) = x_A + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

Where x_A is the position of point A. Therefore, the car will be at:

x(T/2) = x_A + v_0 (T/2) + (1/8)aT^2

Why does the sky change colors at sunset?

KiRa [710]

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... Refraction not only affects visible light rays, but all electromagnetic radiation, although in varying degrees.

So in short, the answer is D.

(My answer got deleted because it didnt explain which is dumb)
